Breaking: US Senate passes emergency Iron Dome funding for ISRAEL!

originally posted by: MrSpad
Iron Dome is a defensive weapons system only. So it is not used to kill anybody in Gaza. What does do is avoid massive civilian casualties in
Israel. So if you want to see dead Israeli civilians then I can see why you oppose this funding. In other words you picking the wrong fight in a
very complex war. And this is the problem with people who see this situation as something black and white.

It's about the support! I don't care if the iron dome lights birthday candles.

It's far from black and white. I am all for Israel having it. I want Israelis to be safe as much as Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere. I just don't
thin we should be funding Israel. It is capable of doing it's own funding and fighting it's own battles. I know exactly why the US funds Israel and
there are many reasons. Israel does not need funding for the Iron Dome. I have never seen anyone make the accusation that the Iron Dome was a Weapon
myself. I am familiar with what it does. I have seen the thing in action.

I will NOT stay in Silence watching this Crime Against Humanity by those israeli bastards.
I will not stay in silence watching people being robbed of there land;
I will not stay in silence watching people being prisoners in there own land
I will not stay in silence watching people being cut off basic needs water, gas and electricity
I will not stay in silence watching people being bombed at UN shelters
I will not stay in silence watching people being murdered with out any mercy
I will not stay in silence watching people ignoring evil injustice inflected to humiliated people

The blood of them and there children will not fall over my head.
I ask for justice I will pray for Justice.
I wasn't against israel, I even didn't know how much thieves they were. But now, I hate Jews until justice is made.

Nah they never win. In my country they say, "The groom is shaved last"

I watched a doc the other day and the term "mow the grass" was used to describe Israel's attacks every now and then. The grass being Palestinians of
course. Israel doesn't ever intend to actually deal with the issue on a long term scale. To them it's just mowing the grass.

funny thing is if the Israelis are ever actually threatened with destruction(something anti Israeli crowd would cheer for) it will lead to the nuking
of 1 or more nations as their straggly is "well if were going down were taking you and any one else who didnt help enough down with with us" think
of shermans march to the sea from civil war but instead of scorched earth think of nuclear oblivion for the region.in no way is this moral mind you
but hey morality is not the most common thing in wars of survival and attrition.and most people tend to not care about the consequences of their
actions if they know they are already going to die all that "wounded animal is most dangerous when cornered etc"

Is that justice ???? I will pray to GOD that people who support what is happening burn in Hell until there debt is payed. Because of people like you
that support israeli military actions are guilty of blood.

It never ceases to amaze me, at how this affluent country always steps up to the front of the line for U.S. government handouts, even if it requires
pushing Americans and destitutes of the world aside.

The Senate measure includes provisions not related to the border or immigration. It specifies funding for local, state and federal agencies to
deal with wildfires in eight western states and $225 million for Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile defense system. The system, used against rockets
launched from Gaza, is paid for primarily with American money.

Asked about the funding for Israel, Illinois Democrat and Majority Whip Dick Durbin said Israel asked for the addition.

“Israel requested it, the White House asked us to include it,” Durbin told Politico. “It reflects the fact that all the rocket activity coming
out of Gaza has exhausted their current supply or at least it is threatening their supply for defense.”

In terms of economics, Israel's GDP is approx. $305, 707, 000, 000 (~ one third of a trillion dollars per year) with a current GDP growth rate of
approx. 4.8%.

Well done guys!! I can't believe this is happening. This is just so sick!!

Psh. Its sick to help a country defend themselves from attacks? What? You would rather Israel just bend over and take it? What kind of a person
are you?

You have a problem with a country defending themselves from attackers. Because that's what Hamas is. They are attacking. They are on offense. But
they're the good guy? And you want Israel to be defenseless? That is what is sick here.

Israel is anything but defenseless.

And yes I want funding to stop. Why? Cus I don't like my hard earned tax dollars to go to something as "meaningless" as helping another country murder
civilians while they "defend" against primitive enemies while the rest of my country goes to hell in a hand basket.

Every murder they perform with my money, is another murder I am part of. If I stop funding those who fund the murders, I am put in prison or worse.

Yes...stop funding the criminal war crimes of a country that is murdering civilians daily...ty.

In other words- Screw you Israel. Fund your own war. Stop panhandling for free handouts you didn't earn or deserve.

Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) is petitioning the State Department to reassess its close relationship with Qatar, which has served as Hamas’
chief financial lifeline while also enjoying close ties to the United States, which recently inked an $11 billion arms deal with the controversial
country.
